I think 3H is the hands down winner.
Partner is a past hand, and we wont miss game if he's got two high hearts and an outside Ace
Also we may force opponents into a bad game in spades or NT

Its probably the wrong vulnerability.
I once did psyche a 3♥ opening.
The bidding proceeded
3♥ ... lots of questions including "how many hearts does that show" eventually my LHO doubled
Partner passed and RHO bid 3♠ which pleased me as my hand looked much more like a 3♠ bid than a 3♥ bid
I passed and LHO repeated his barrage of questions and then bid 4♥!!!!!!
All passed

So this pair go merrily on their way, passing cue bids when there's been enough UI. If this is what you put up with in tournaments you must be easy pickings in a club game
I bid 1♥ here, nice to see I have some good company.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

2♥ for me. I can live with 1♥, but not with 3♥ at this vulnerability.
